Mozart et al

Posted by Amphissa on January 3, 2017 at 10:10:22:

I have never been a Mozart fan -- the only exception being The Magic Flute, which I enjoy for its fantasy story. His music is for me, formulaic, simplistic, tedious, and just plain boring. I recognize that most of the listening world loves Mozart. His music just ain't for me.

Are you averse to the word "atonal" -- defined as "marked by avoidance of traditional musical tonality; especially: organized without reference to key or tonal center" You seem to avoid the term.

Although I can and do enjoy atonal works, I also find that some composers are much more to my liking than others. Because atonality can also be deadly boring for me if it also lacks a sense of lyricism or development or seems to aimlessly go nowhere.

Other than Wagner and Debussy, what composers do you really like that are less tethered to a home key?
